„Did you forgive them yet?“ — I stood my ground and said NO. — I opened up about my abuse to a 'spiritual friend'. His first question was: „Have you managed to forgive them yet?“ I said NO. And it's NOT my duty to forgive. He said „But forgiveness causes healin…
A Question About Positive and Negative Energy. — As a non-believer who is interested in the subject I have some questions about the idea of curses and negative/Positive energies. If curses are a byproduct of the universe (as in positive and negative…
Success Story: "I make $55/hr" 2 week streak F20 — To preface, I've had the knack for manifesting money here and there for around 5 years now, and I'm still in the process of fully realising my power and being in total control (ie having it come more …
Bhrumadhya meditation - 17 days Progress Report: Transitioning to Dual-Core Awareness (Mental Anchor + Thought Observation) — TL;DR: Moved from a single-focus "spotlight" to a partitioned awareness.

First Date Therapy Sessions (Help! 😂) — Many of my (37M) recent first dates turn into therapy/counseling sessions, and I’m personally struggling with how to discern that ahead of time or manage situations, because there’s no sign of that le…

Nikola Tesla, Neville and YOUR DESIRE. — Trying to understand the law in depth is like trying to find where your creative thoughts are coming from. It only does more harm. So learn this post only to unlearn it. Don't over analyse. I am writi…
The reason “just start” doesn’t work and what the research says to do instead — I think a lot of self-improvement advice fails because it misunderstands how motivation actually works. The standard advice is: set a goal, break it into steps, build discipline, execute. And for som…
I definitely think that’s what’s going on. That’s why I go on all these good dates, but nobody gives it time to develop. I’ve asked why a couple of times and I’ve gotten some really trivial answers th…
It’s definitely possible but I agree that it’s difficult. It’s more effective as “do a bunch of things, join clubs and communities for social interaction, and dating may be a byproduct, more than do i…
This may sound weird, but does anyone else find that their poor time management skills makes dating super stressful. So, I’m well aware that many tasks take me longer than the average person, so I t…
>I’m not sure if this lack of flexibility in planning is a sign I’m not into someone or just a byproduct of my gad/adhd with no reflection of relationship quality. Probably the later and due to them …
most of the time, we like people who reflect traits of ourselves that we downplay. we LIKE to define ourselves within limited definitions, like "i am angry person" or "i am a math person, not an engli…
In my opinion? Research first, understand what the phenomena is. It is very broad, and extremely shocking if you ever get to interact with them! There is a mixed bag of a lot of different groups. Look…
You're a byproduct of your environment. You must be exposed to more Asian culture nowadays.
"Forgiveness can be a byproduct of healing" Damn. It's always bothered me that society generally believes us victims MUST forgive our abusers in order to heal, but I've never been able to put it so p…
Same thing happened to me the first few times. And then the changes or choices made that came quickly was awesome. I only started meditating to chase the astral. Meditation has been an amazing bypr…

Socrates was saying that you need to apply the Socratic method to your life and determine the extent of your own ignorance. To Socrates, ignorance is vice and wisdom is virtue. If you live an unexam…
yeah, i thought it was normal to suck up to adults and almost cry when they would treat me like their kid. i always focused way more on my friends' parents than my friends. when i went to their hou…
>Stress isn't a byproduct of overthinking, rather, it's a byproduct of poor logic. If your thinking is causing you stress, you haven't properly examined the stress itself, where it comes from Spot on…
I don't believe anyone is in a "deserving" scenario. Each of us makes choices in life, and where we are each day is a byproduct of countless previous decisions..... both those we calculated, and thos…
So, when I revised the memory, my intention and focus was to choose a different way of things happening (him devotedly helping me) because I kept feeling very bitter thinking of it and sometimes I did…
Imho don't do it to impress anyone but yourself. I started to spend more time caring about my appearance because I finally realized I deserved some of that attention and effort I've been giving to eve…
Lovely art. Chiming in because early on I had something akin to an OBE and saw an..entity? in a half-lotus position who looked something like what you have drawn on page 1. Had gaps instead of neck/ab…
Narcissism is a byproduct of abuse. Realistically only a professional can diagnose these issues.
Being hypervigilant is a byproduct of being cheated on not being codependent. If your gut is telling you something is off, I would trust that instinct and decide if you’re capable of living the rest o…
This sounds like a classic phosphene projection transitioning into a semi-persistent hypnopompic hallucination. Constant Focus 10/12 work overstimulates the visual cortex, often manifesting as localiz…
The external vs internal framing is interesting but I'd push back on the idea that direct saturn is purely external and retrograde is purely psychological. I think that's an oversimplification that ge…
I abandoned a bunch of friends over the years because they tried to help me and/or hold me to normal social standards for my own good and I didn’t realize that’s what care felt like. Because my abus…
That’s a great clarification. I love the idea of happiness as a byproduct of an unfettered mind rather than a destination. It shifts the focus from seeking to being. When you act as an intrinsic expre…
TV’s and monitors will go black when I’m intensely focused, I have to break concentration for them to work properly again. Mostly happens when I’m gaming. At night when I’m very meditative & doing k…
Simple: The goal of meditation is NOT to stop thoughts nor clear your mind of thoughts; you reach a state where thought forms gradually become less frequent as a BYPRODUCT of your practice. It also …
You have two philosophies that are worth changing: 1. Meditation is about thoughts. It’s not. Having less thoughts is a natural byproduct of tapping in to the body’s wisdom and using it to drive in…

I’m also dealing with the exact same thing. I have been off work since the fall and taking another few months before going back. It’s been a lot less stressful being off while dealing with the sleep i…

the whole path is in my first comment to you. that's your starting point. strengthen the three powers of the conscious mind... memory, concentration, and visualization. those exercises i laid out are…
The isolation-to-app-to-more-isolation loop is brutal. Apps work best as one channel, not the only channel. If your job is isolating, stacking one or two social habits outside of work, even low-key on…
As an adult with a binge eating disorder for the majority of my life, a few things worked for me (see below). *PLEASE NOTE: This is not advice, this is only what I did, which might not necessarily he…
I think this desire is a byproduct of essentially living life entirely from the ego. There is a very frightened little animal inside that is not healthy enough to provide insight into the real wants a…
You may be 100% right. But I also believe sometimes you need space to process your own things and come to your own conclusions. During an argument for example, I think its 100% healthy to communicate …
And I guess yeah re: Spanish vs Asian languages, there's just so much more appetite in US for Spanish... that must be painful to be unable to communicate with relatives, grandparents. Also didn't kno…
so meditation will improve your concentration over time yes. but what i'm talking about is a dedicated concentration exercise. there's a difference. meditation has alot of benefits but concentration …

These people don’t have any sources, it’s just cope. Western chauvinists trick themselves into believing that all of China’s recent advancements are byproducts of IP theft because they can’t accept th…
Few things here doing meditation for some benefit is not the right way to do meditation.. just do it with curiosity… long term benefits are always a byproduct of it, it should never be the end goal… …
According to your logic, as long as you assume that you are in a state of fulfillment, you will succeed in whatever you’re trying to manifest, correct? In my post, I said you can’t fail. If you can tr…
The way I see it, the fear of disappointment is simply another state you’re occupying. Neville said that we are always moving through states, and the state we occupy determines what we experience. Yo…
Precision is a byproduct of relaxation, not tension. 'Purpose Tremor' proves that over-calculating every move jams your creative machinery. To succeed, fix your focus on the end result, trigger the fe…
